Storm Clouds

I just heard on the radio that tonight we will have the worst storms since 1974. This brings many questions to my mind. How do they know that? Is what's happening in the atmosphere right now so telling that they can say we will have the worst storms in 34 years? That's a long time and a big claim. And what happened in 1974? (Obviously some big storms happened.)

It certainly feels like it's going to storm. It's overcast in the mid 80s with 40 mph wind. I was just noticing that as you walk outside you only see the underside of the leaves on the trees. This makes the trees have more of a grey tint to them. The grey trees juxtaposed with the the low-hanging dark clouds creates an ominous feeling. I feel small and insignifigant yet somehow excited to see whatever the storms will bring.
